[Fot] A type OD

[Bill Babcock]

sounds like a handy feature, it will keep you from shifting too  
frequently. You might consider adding a relay into the circuit. What  
you're being shocked by is not the 12 volts, but the flyback voltage  
generated by the solenoid. A relay has a solenoid too, but it's dinky  
and won't sting. an insulated switch would also do the job.
